What you'll see and do
Dohany Street Synagogue
During the guided tour, travelers will discover the Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest in Europe and the second largest in the world, inaugurated in 1859. Built in Neo-Moorish style, it can accommodate up to 3,000 people and represents one of the most important places of Jewish culture in Budapest. The visit will allow you to admire the imposing architecture of the Synagogue and to learn about its history, from the architects who oversaw its construction to the role it has played in the life of the Jewish community. Visitors will also discover the connection of the Synagogue to the history of the Holocaust and the old Jewish Quarter, by visiting the garden where the graves of the victims of the Budapest Ghetto are located. The experience therefore offers an opportunity to get to know more closely the history, culture, and traditions of the Jewish community of Budapest through one of its symbolic places.

+

When is the best time to visit Budapest?
+

How many days do you need in Budapest?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
